Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Fill your kettle and boil it. Drain and rinse the jackfruit and tip it into a bowl. Add the teriyaki sauce and gently turn to mix. Set aside to marinate for 5-10 mins.

  • 2.

    Meanwhile, peel and finely slice the red onion. Trim and peel the carrot, then slice it into batons around 3-4cm long. Separate the pak choi leaves, then slice the stems and shred the larger leaves. Peel and grate the garlic and ginger.

  • 3.

    Fill a large pan with hot water from the kettle, topping it up with extra water if necessary. Add a pinch of salt, put the pan on a high heat and bring back to the boil. When it’s boiling, add 2 bundles of noodles and simmer for 3-4 mins till tender. Drain them, tip them back into the pan and drizzle over 1 tbsp sesame oil. Toss to mix and set aside.

  • 4.

    While the noodles cook, warm a deep frying pan or wok on a high heat for 2 mins, then add ½ tbsp oil. Lift the jackfruit out of the marinade and add the jackfruit to the wok. Stir fry for 3-4 mins till the jackfruit is a rich brown colour all over. Scoop the jackfruit back into the bowl with the teriyaki marinade and set aside.

  • 5.

    Add ½ tbsp oil to the wok and stir in the garlic and ginger. Sizzle for 30 secs.

  • 6.

    Add the onion, carrot and pak choi stems. Stir fry for 5 mins to soften and brown the veg. Return the jackfruit to the pan with the teriyaki marinade and stir to mix.

  • 7.

    Add the noodles to the pan, along with the pak choi leaves, and toss together. Fry for 2-3 mins, tossing the pan occasionally, to warm everything through. Divide the stir-fry between 2 warm plates or bowls and serve.
